Re: little problem on IDE

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I managed to get it working (but only just)

I right clicked the gambas3 icon and selected "run with qt6"
Everything works okay with QT6 so i right clicked the toolbar and selected
"Configure Toolbar"
I changed icon size to large, then quit IDE.

Now with default gtk3 IDE the run button and open project button works but
only if mouse is in the top part of it. (only a few pixels)

If your manjaro is okay Benoit i'd suggest trying a fresh VM.
A Default Manjaro with gnome has done the unthinkable and dropped xorg :'(
And by default (GTK3) it's broken MenuButton (plus possibly other things).

Like i say with QT6 all seems to be working fine.
